I've seen so many like me who are over the moon about sending people over the moon.

I've also seen people who are meh about it, and even a few who hate it.

This is fine, whatevs, I don't get it but I've loved space since I was a toddler.

What is not fine is lashing out at those of us who are enthused. For some of us, it's a symbol of hope, something good, in this dark world right now. You don't like it? Fine. You don't like that we like it? Find a cork and stuff it. Don't yuck our yum.

Let people enjoy things. (Unless they enjoy harming others, in which case Houston, we have a problem.)

This was one of the most amazing things I saw at the Seattle Asian Art Museum recently—this cube of intricately cut metal, lit from within, that turned the whole room into an artistic interplay of darkness and light. Casting all the visitors into the installation; shadows on the walls.

Artist: Anila Quayyum Agha, a Pakistani/American artist
